  • 1.  ESXi 7 installation over serial console

    Posted Aug 23, 2021 12:33 AM

    Hi - I would like to install ESXi 7 on a Lanner appliance that has no video output so I believe I need to modify some of the boot files present on the ESXi ISO to tell the installer to redirect its output on the serial console port (something like console=ttyS0,115200n8).

    Could you please let me know exactly what to insert into which boot file on my ESXi ISO USB stick?

    Thanks a lot for your time/help.

    You can use Kickstart installation for automating installation but also the below post maybe useful:
